Portsmouth

Arthur Astor Carey (1857-1923) purchased forty acres of the original Benning Wentworth farm in 1887, soon enlarging his holdings to 119 acres in partnership with his brother. In 1887-8, on the portion of his land that bordered the tidal Sagamore Creek, Carey constructed the summer home that would become known as Creek Farm. Carey chose the Boston architect Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow (1854-1934) to design his home. Longfellow was a Harvard acquaintance of Carey’s and of J. Templeman Coolidge III (1856-1945), who led a group of prominent Bostonians in establishing summer homes near Sagamore Creek. Arthur Astor Carey was an important figure in the summer colony that coalesced near Sagamore Creek during the 1880s. That colony evolved to include artists, sculptors, musicians, architects, and historians. Carey himself displayed a multitude of interests, ranging from archaeology and astronomy through art and music to sailing and fine horses.

Fort Constitution State Historic Site

Fort Constitution State Historic Site is located on a peninsula on the northeast corner of New Castle Island. It overlooks both the Piscataqua River and the Atlantic Ocean. The grounds provide a casual gathering spot for picnics. In 1791, the State of New Hampshire gave the United States the neck of land on which Fort William and Mary and a lighthouse were situated. The fort was repaired, renamed Fort Constitution and garrisoned with a company of United States artillery. Renovations, which included a wall twice as high as that of the colonial fort and new brick buildings, were completed in 1808. It is the ruins of this fort that are seen today.

New Castle

New Castle, a one-mile square island at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, has a fascinating history. Settled as a fishing village, it became the capital of the province of New Hampshire in the late 1600s. The first overt act of the Revolutionary War took place in New Castle at Fort William and Mary. Over the following years, military fortifications were constructed on the island to defend the strategic and vital entrance to Portsmouth Harbor. Many of the original island families continue to preserve New Castle’s history through their generous donation of historic documents, maps, books, photographs and artifacts. As a quaint and picturesque village, New Castle weathers the changes of time with grace!

Fort Stark State Historic Site

Fort Stark Historic Site is located on a peninsula historically called Jerry's Point on the southeast corner of New Castle Island. It overlooks the Piscataqua River, Little Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Fort Stark was named in honor of John Stark, commander of N.H. forces at the Battle of Bennington (1777). An unmarked walking trail traverses the ten-acre fort site. We’ll stop in the museum when open.

Wentworth-Gardner House

Three generations of Wentworth's ruled the area until the revolution. One of the richest families in colonial New Hampshire.

Prescott Park

The Prescott sisters, Josie and Mary, are directly responsible for the creation of what is now known as Prescott Park. Josie and Mary were public school teachers and lived in Portsmouth all of their lives. When their older brother, Charles Prescott, died he left the two sisters a sizable inheritance. Josie and Mary loved their city and long desired to see the waterfront section along what is now Marcy Street beautified and made accessible to all. In the last will and testament of Josie Prescott a private trust fund of $500,000 was set up just for this purpose. This trust's sole purpose was to purchase land parcels along the Piscataqua River from lower State Street to Pickering and Gates Street and to make this land into a public park. In 1954 with much of the land purchase accomplished this private trust and associated land were turned over to the City of Portsmouth to be administered and maintained for perpetuity. The Prescott Trust Fund, now a city trust fund, is responsible.

Four Tree Island

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard was established on June 12, 1800, during the administration of President John Adams. The area has a long tradition of shipbuilding. Since colonial settlement, New Hampshire and Maine forests provided lumber for wooden boat construction. HMS Falkland, considered the first British warship built in the Thirteen Colonies, was commissioned here in 1696. The Royal Navy reserved the tallest and straightest eastern white pine trees for masts, emblazening the bark with a crown symbol. During the Revolution, the Raleigh was built in 1776 on Badger's Island in Kittery, and became the first vessel to fly an American flag into battle. Raleigh has been depicted on the Seal of New Hampshire since 1784, even though she was captured and served in the British Navy. Other warships followed, including Ranger launched in 1777; Commanded by Captain John Paul Jones, it became the first U. S. Navy vessel to receive an official salute at sea from a foreign power.

Portsmouth

Tobias Lear V (1762-1816) who made the history books as the personal secretary to George Washington. Our last Tobais Lear is best known for his detailed account of the final hours of the first president of the not-so-United States in 1799. Born and raised in the house on Hunking Street, young Toby managed to attend Governor Dummer Academy and Harvard University. By 1784, then in his early 20s, young Toby Lear was back in Portsmouth casting about for a career when, likely thanks to his Uncle Langdon, he was hired to work at Gen. George Washington’s 10,000-acre plantation at Mount Vernon, Virginia. By Washington’s death the farm was operated by more than 300 enslaved Africans. In addition to his role as private secretary, Lear also managed the finances for the farm and tutored Martha Washington’s two children from her previous marriage.

Portsmouth

The Liberty Pole A symbol of citizen engagement in times of war and peace! The tall flag pole to the east of Puddle Dock and at the entrance to Prescott Park’s public gardens is so much a part of the landscape, it might get overlooked. On January 9, 1766, what we now know as the Liberty Pole was raised by the Sons of Liberty in protest of the Stamp Act. Nine years before the beginning of the American Revolution, the Liberty Pole was a rallying point for opposition to the Stamp Act.

Исторический памятник штата Нью-Гэмпшир № 194 - Особняк Вентворт-Кулидж

Мы поедем по этой красивой проселочной дороге с охраняемой территорией по обеим сторонам улицы и остановимся у особняка Вентворта Кулиджа. В этой самой красивой исторической достопримечательности мы увидим задний канал, и вы услышите истории о королевском губернаторе Беннинге Вентворте, бостонском брамане Кулидже и истории Литтл-Харбора.

32

Портсмут

Артур Астор Кэри (1857–1923) купил сорок акров первоначальной фермы Беннинга Вентворта в 1887 году, вскоре увеличив свои владения до 119 акров в партнерстве со своим братом. В 1887–1888 годах на участке своей земли, граничащем с приливным заливом Сагамор-Крик, Кэри построил летний дом, который впоследствии стал известен как ферма Крик. Кэри выбрал бостонского архитектора Александра Уодсворта Лонгфелло (1854–1934) для проектирования своего дома. Лонгфелло был гарвардским знакомым Кэри и Дж. Темплмана Кулиджа III (1856–1945), который руководил группой видных бостонцев, занимавшихся строительством летних домов недалеко от Сагамор-Крик. Артур Астор Кэри был важной фигурой в летней колонии, образовавшейся недалеко от Сагамор-Крик в 1880-х годах. В эту колонию вошли художники, скульпторы, музыканты, архитекторы и историки. Сам Кэри проявлял множество интересов, от археологии и астрономии, искусства и музыки до парусного спорта и прекрасных лошадей.

33

Государственный исторический памятник Форт-Конституция

Историческое место штата Форт Конституция расположено на полуострове в северо-восточной части острова Нью-Касл. Из окон открывается вид на реку Пискатакуа и Атлантический океан. Территория представляет собой непринужденное место сбора для пикников. В 1791 году штат Нью-Гэмпшир передал Соединенным Штатам участок земли, на котором располагались форты Уильям и Мэри и маяк. Форт был отремонтирован, переименован в Форт Конституция, и в нем разместили гарнизон артиллерийской роты Соединенных Штатов. В 1808 году были завершены ремонтные работы, в том числе стена вдвое выше стены колониального форта и новые кирпичные постройки. Руины этого форта можно увидеть и сегодня.

34

Новый замок

Нью-Касл, остров площадью в одну милю в устье реки Пискатакуа, имеет захватывающую историю. Основанный как рыбацкая деревня, он стал столицей провинции Нью-Гэмпшир в конце 1600-х годов. Первый открытый акт Войны за независимость произошел в Нью-Касле в Форт-Уильям и Мэри. В последующие годы на острове были построены военные укрепления для защиты стратегического и жизненно важного входа в Портсмутскую гавань. Многие из первоначальных островных семей продолжают сохранять историю Нью-Касла, щедро жертвуя исторические документы, карты, книги, фотографии и артефакты. Как причудливая и живописная деревня, Нью-Касл с изяществом переносит изменения времени!

35

Государственный исторический памятник Форт-Старк

Историческое место Форт-Старк расположено на полуострове, исторически называвшемся Джерри-Пойнт, в юго-восточной части острова Нью-Касл. Из окон открывается вид на реку Пискатакуа, Литтл-Харбор и Атлантический океан. Форт Старк был назван в честь Джона Старка, командующего войсками Северной Каролины в битве при Беннингтоне (1777 г.). Немаркированная пешеходная тропа пересекает территорию форта площадью десять акров. Мы остановимся в музее, когда он откроется.

36

Дом Вентворта-Гарднера

Три поколения Вентвортов правили районом до революции. Одна из самых богатых семей колониального Нью-Гэмпшира.

37

Прескотт Парк

Сестры Прескотт, Джози и Мэри, несут прямую ответственность за создание того, что сейчас известно как Прескотт-Парк. Джози и Мэри были учителями в государственной школе и всю свою жизнь прожили в Портсмуте. Когда их старший брат Чарльз Прескотт умер, он оставил двум сестрам значительное наследство. Джози и Мэри любили свой город и давно мечтали о том, чтобы прибрежная часть нынешней Марси-стрит была украшена и стала доступной для всех. По последней воле и завещанию Джози Прескотт именно для этой цели был создан частный трастовый фонд в размере 500 000 долларов. Единственной целью этого траста было приобретение земельных участков вдоль реки Пискатакуа от нижней Стейт-стрит до Пикеринг-стрит и Гейтс-стрит и превращение этой земли в общественный парк. В 1954 году, когда большая часть покупки земли была завершена, этот частный траст и связанные с ним земли были переданы городу Портсмут для управления и обслуживания на неограниченный срок. Ответственность за это несет Доверительный фонд Прескотта, который теперь является городским трастовым фондом.

38

Остров четырех деревьев

Портсмутская военно-морская верфь была основана 12 июня 1800 года во время правления президента Джона Адамса. Район имеет давние традиции судостроения. Со времен колониального заселения леса Нью-Гэмпшира и Мэна давали пиломатериалы для строительства деревянных лодок. HMS Falkland , считающийся первым британским военным кораблем, построенным в Тринадцати колониях, был введен в эксплуатацию здесь в 1696 году. Королевский флот зарезервировал самые высокие и прямые восточные белые сосны для мачт, украсив кору символом короны. Во время революции Raleigh был построен в 1776 году на острове Барсука в Киттери и стал первым судном, которое шло в бой под американским флагом. Роли была изображена на печати Нью-Гэмпшира с 1784 года, несмотря на то, что она была захвачена и служила в британском флоте. За ними последовали другие военные корабли, в том числе Ranger, спущенный на воду в 1777 году; Под командованием капитана Джона Пола Джонса он стал первым кораблем ВМС США, получившим официальный салют в море от иностранной державы.

39

Портсмут

Тобиас Лир V (1762-1816), вошедший в историю как личный секретарь Джорджа Вашингтона. Наш последний Тобайс Лир наиболее известен своим подробным отчетом о последних часах жизни первого президента не очень Соединенных Штатов в 1799 году. Родившийся и выросший в доме на Ханкинг-стрит, юный Тоби успел поступить в Академию губернатора Даммера и Гарвард. Университет. К 1784 году, когда ему было чуть за 20, молодой Тоби Лир вернулся в Портсмут, пытаясь сделать карьеру, когда, вероятно, благодаря своему дяде Лэнгдону, он был нанят для работы на плантации генерала Джорджа Вашингтона площадью 10 000 акров в Маунт-Вернон, штат Вирджиния. К моменту смерти Вашингтона фермой управляло более 300 порабощенных африканцев. В дополнение к своей роли личного секретаря Лир также управлял финансами фермы и обучал двух детей Марты Вашингтон от ее предыдущего брака.

Портсмут

Полюс Свободы Символ активности граждан во времена войны и мира! Высокий флагшток к востоку от Паддл-Док и у входа в скверы Прескотт-парка является настолько важной частью пейзажа, что его можно не заметить. 9 января 1766 года то, что мы теперь знаем как Полюс Свободы, было воздвигнуто Сынами Свободы в знак протеста против Закона о гербовых марках. За девять лет до начала американской революции Полюс Свободы был местом сбора оппозиции Закону о гербовых марках.
